In response to the column by Rich Campbell Nov. 4, I want to make it perfectly clear that I, Craig Woll, as well as the commissioners mentioned, also espouse "principles of limited growth, strict preservation of the comprehensive plan and urban services boundary, and general skepticism about taxpayer backed incentives for prospective businesses."

While I have stated that under some very specific circumstances I would consider the possibility of extending the urban service boundary and have supported some specific grant matching opportunities for local business expansion, I feel I have made it very clear that I agree with those principles supported by the other "slow growth" commissioners.

The desire to keep large development from being approved west of Hobe Sound is what prompted me to become a candidate for the Martin County Commission. I reject the idea that only a victory by my opponent will cause the board makeup rise to a 4-1 majority, and hope that I will be given the chance to serve the citizens of Martin County in helping keep things under "control" here.
